	After WWII the German cruiser Prinz Eugen was used as a target ship for the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests. She survived the Able and Baker tests, but was too radioactive to have leaks repaired. In September 1946, she was towed to Kwajalein Atoll and capsized on December 22, 1946 over Enubuj Reef, where she remains to this day.
	On August 30, 1945, following the Japanese surrender, Nagato, the last surviving Japanese battleship, was boarded and secured by American sailors from the USS Horace A. Bass LPR-124. In March 1946 she was taken to Bikini Atoll for Operation Crossroads. She was in such poor repair that on the way she had to be towed to Eniwetok Atoll for emergency repairs.

	During the return to Pearl Harbor from the 1961 West Pac deployment, a false flooding alarm was activated on a tug that Current was towing from Kwajalein. The workboat was lowered to inspect the tug. On the return to Current from the tow, the captain erroneously instructed the workboat engineer, Jerry Spickler, to attach a davit hook improperly. As the workboat was being raised, the hook slipped and the workboat hit the water as well as Jerry. Photo submitted by John Bauer.
